Seeing Ye Li jump into the air, the iron-armored stag beetle was stunned for a moment and then immediately exploded, raising the big shovel on its head, jumped into the air and stabbed towards Ye Li who was unable to dodge.
The ironclad stag beetle's speed was extremely fast when it exploded, and its short-distance sprint was like a flash of lightning. Ye Li had difficulty dodging it on the ground, and now in the air, he almost became a sitting duck.
However, the moment Ye Li saw the iron-clad stag beetle jump up, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The spiritual energy bullet that he had previously condensed in his hand was released the moment the iron-clad stag beetle jumped up, but the target was not at the iron-clad stag beetle, but at the sky.
The spiritual energy bullet that Ye Li released towards the sky was triggered by him the moment it was shot out. The exploding spiritual energy bullet brought out a circle of strong airflow that pressed on the spiritual bell talisman around him.
The powerful thrust pressed him down from the air at a lightning speed. His descent speed was faster than his previous leap speed, but he passed by the ironclad stag beetle in the blink of an eye.
The ironclad stag beetle had a very accurate judgment of distance and speed. After its explosive leap, it was sure to attack Ye Li.
However, Ye Li instantly changed from an ascending state to an accelerated descent, which naturally made the iron-clad stag beetle's attack in vain.
At the moment when Ye Li passed by the iron-armored stag beetle, he drew a talisman in his hand again, and another earth-level spiritual energy bullet condensed in his hand.
At this moment, the iron-clad stag beetle jumped up with its entire neck and abdomen exposed. This was the opportunity that Ye Li deliberately created.
The spiritual energy bullet in his hand blasted through the weak connection of the carapace on the neck of the iron-clad stag beetle at an extremely fast speed.
The flesh under the ironclad stag beetle's shell was very fragile. After being hit by the spiritual energy bullet, it was instantly shattered and its entire head was blown off.
After Ye Li fell to the ground, the iron-clad stag beetle also fell beside him. Its six legs were still shaking, but in fact, it was already dead.
Looking at the corpse of the iron-armored stag beetle, Ye Li felt excited, not only because he had obtained the last material to refine the Red Flame Pill, but more importantly, he had also figured out the actual combat method.
Proper use of your own strength is the only way to win.
After quickly cleaning up the insect corpses, Ye Li found a safe place, recovered his spiritual power and spiritual energy, and then quickly rushed back to Dahuang City.
The day of the competition was approaching, and he didn't want to waste time.
After returning to the Great Wilderness City, he came to the Treasure Hunting Pavilion again. This time, Zhao Wanyin was not there, and it was the girl named Qingqing who received him. Qingqing knew the price he and Zhao Wanyin had agreed on, so after accepting the materials from the three monsters and the Red Flame Fruit, she told him that he could come to get the elixir the next day.
Ye Li also knew that the pill could not be refined immediately, so he returned to his own courtyard and rested for a day. The next day, he went to the Treasure Pavilion again. After paying five mid-grade spirit stones, he finally retrieved the Red Flame Pill.
Returning to the courtyard again, Ye Li excitedly took out the porcelain bottle containing the pills and poured the red flame pill that he had just refined into his hand.
The thumb-joint-sized pill was bright red all over, the same color as the Red Flame Fruit. When it was poured into the hand, it was actually still warm and exuded bursts of medicinal fragrance.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Li opened his mouth and put the Red Flame Pill into it. The pill melted in his mouth and turned into a hot stream, rolling into his throat.
After swallowing the pill, Ye Li immediately twisted his body and began to practice the Spirit Gathering Technique.
As he moved, the heat he swallowed into his stomach began to evaporate, and streams of heat spread from his stomach to all parts of his body.
The natal talisman in the sea of spiritual consciousness suddenly lit up with a dazzling purple light at this moment, and the dragon-and-snake-like talismans quickly changed.
The heat that permeated Ye Li's entire body, after washing over his body, seemed to be attracted by his natal talisman and rushed towards his sea of consciousness.
The natal talisman was like a black hole, sucking in all the heat in Ye Li's body.
After swallowing up these heat currents, a faint fiery red light suddenly appeared next to the huge natal talisman.
This red light began to move in a regular pattern, drawing lines in Ye Li's sea of consciousness. A moment later, a fiery red talisman condensed next to his natal talisman.
After the talisman took shape, Ye Li stopped practicing the Spirit Gathering Technique. The expression on his face was very confused at this moment, and he had no idea what was going on.
He had never heard that after taking the elixir that increases the number of talisman roots, an extra talisman would appear on the natal talisman.
Moreover, this symbol seems to be just a part of a rune, because some of the strokes on the symbol clearly have signs of extending outwards.
Ye Li didn't know whether he had successfully increased the Fire Root in this way. He stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers casually, and drew a lowest level three-character symbol.
The rune turned into a talisman the moment it condensed, and actually summoned a ball of yellow flame out of thin air. This was not a talisman for attack or defense, but a talisman for ignition.
Looking at the yellow flame in his hand, Ye Li's face showed an extremely excited expression. Although the process of increasing the talisman roots was a bit strange, the summoned flame had already proved that he had indeed obtained the fire talisman roots.
However, the effect of the Red Flame Fruit is limited, and the purity of the talisman root he obtained is very low, which can be seen from the color of the flame.
The flames condensed by the talisman are divided into seven kinds, and the purity from low to high is yellow, orange, red, cyan, blue, purple and white.
The color is different, and the power and temperature also vary greatly.
However, it is already very good for him to have spiritual roots. At least he can use fire spells.
After confirming that he already had the talisman root, Ye Li rushed to Dahuang City again. He wanted to go to the family's Lingfu Pavilion to choose two fire talismans to learn.
In the mine tunnel of the Ye family's Xingyan Iron Mine, Ye Wujiu and several elders were standing in the newly discovered Liuliyanjing Iron Mine area. The temperature inside had dropped at this time, and a layer of silver talisman light was shrouded around the fire eye, which was obviously sealed by the Ye family.
The mine was filled with talisman lanterns, illuminating the glazed flame crystal iron in red.
Ye Wujiu looked at the scale of the surrounding mineral deposits and couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock on his face.
He said, "This discovery of the Ye family is really huge. If used well, it will definitely be a panacea for revitalizing our Ye family. If used poorly, disaster is not far away."
An old man with pale hair and wrinkles on his face smiled and said, "Wujiu, you don't have to worry too much. We just need to block the news and only select the most loyal people to dig the ore here. It shouldn't be a big deal.
When we sell it later, we should not sell too large a quantity at a time, and we should ship it out of Shanhai County to sell it. This way, we will not be easily targeted and it will be much safer.
By the way, what are you going to do with this Fire Eye here?"
